One of the pros of owning a large form factor desktop is how easy it is to upgrade components at will. Start off with a great set of base specs and enjoy ample room to grow with Lenovo’s performance focused K450e desktop, on sale now for just $699.99 after a helpful $300 in savings.

Lenovo has equipped their K450e desktop with a strong set of specs to get you started, headlined by a 4th-gen Core i7-4790 quad-core processor. Also included off the bat is a sizable quantity of memory, including 16GB of RAM and a 2TB hybrid hard drive with an 8GB SSD cache. Together these specs give you everything you need to fly through both everyday and complex office and multimedia tasks, all while multitasking freely and enjoying snappy performance and quick boot times.

As mentioned above, the K450e is designed to be highly upgradeable, and features tool-less entry, easy pull trays, clear access to drive bays and more. This means it’ll be easy to upgrade your memory even further if you want to, as well as to do things like add a dedicated graphics card or even a new PSU and turn this into much more of a serious gaming rig. Aiding that cause, the case is conveniently built with side-vents for more efficient cooling.

Even without a GPU, the K450e offers a large quantity of ports, including HDMI, DVI, VGA, and six USB ports (four USB 3.0, and two of which are conveniently front-facing). There’s also 7.1-channel surround sound support and a DVDRW, as well as built-in 802.11n WiFi. A keyboard and mouse are also included with purchase.
